[Q] Cyanogen mod and modem.bin - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
owner of an old Galaxy S GT-i9000.
I've installed CyanogenMod 10.1-20130501-nightly-galaxysmtd directly from old standard Samsung installation.
It works fine (Apollo have some crashes but I can wait a stable version)
But there is a problem about modem.bin file and settings.
My offices are partially shielded so with the standard Samsung OS the modem signal go up and down like a yoyo but works (a lot of patience) depending also from position (no openable Windows ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif )
With the CyanogenMod (also with stable version and not only with nightly) the line don't exist ...
Not only but if I go along the street the line is off ... I must restart the phone and all works with good performances.
I'm thinking that the modem.bin in CyanogenMod is for a different country of mine.
I'm in Italy and my provider is Wind.
Maybe there is a better (older?) version of modem.bin for Italy & Wind?
So I can install it via Odin in the phone or insert the zip file in internal SD and load it in recovery mode.
Any suggestion is accepted ... I can also testing several versions if it is necessary
Please an help is appreciated ...

Hi...I would suggest you to download getril from the market and check if your ril and baseband versions match...if not you can have some pretty bad problems when it comes to reception.
Also when ril and baseband don't match you can get the, i think it was the jvu ril from the app itself....then flash the jvu modem from here

Another thing that could be is, that the 3g reception in your area is a bit weak....try to force 2g networks and check if it is getting better for you

The reception 3g or 2g is weak because the building is "shielded" (many iron and iron gates so it seems a faraday's cage) ...
I'll try to dl the app you suggest me and I try to use the jvu modem version ... the std should be the jw4 ...
thank a lot I'll give you all feedback

help me plzz...

:{GTi9000 DTJP3 modem 4 MIUI!!!}:

Hello All!!,
I have been looking for awhile now for a good Australian modem for optus network to work with MIUI Rom.
I am on Galnet,s MIUI Rom V4 atm and find that the modems on his thread never do me justice. (I have tried JL2 ect.)
I have not seen a DTJP3 Modem for MIUI. is there one??
So I was wondering if there is anyone out there that can whip up a optus modem to use with the MIUI ROM. So I could flash it in CWM. I have tried to look into it but my knowledge is limited..
I will upload the latest stock Modem for optus network being DTJP3. Froyo based
edit: sorry wouldn't let me upload 12mb file but found a download link with DTJP3Modem.bin inside!
BIT OF A FIX: but still not a fast signal pick up! I Think it's something with MIUI ROM That has slow connection and Battery drain. Also was out and about yesterday with the wife and on same network and she could ring out but I had no reception. And I was on DTJP3 Modem. But when I was on Stock samsung in the same area I could get signal
OK,for people on miui having problems finding a modem for the country.
All you have to do is;
- Extract the modem out of your home town Rom
- Open up any modem.zip file from miui with 7zip (Pref. Galnet's modem zips)
- Replace the modem.bin with your home town one.
- Flash in cwm, boot...
That's it!!
For me it was the DTJP3 modem for Optus
Thanks to phalanger for the insight! thumbs up to you!

THanks! I HOPe There is someone that can help!
yep i totally agree
Maybe Codeworkx can help! I hear he is good at this stuff. He made the other modems for galnets miui...
Does Anyone know about good modem for optus network on miui??? and if there is anything else I should know about how to get good signal and battery?
Thanks!

Wifi signal recieved is lower than before custom rom , how to improve please ?

Hi , my router is working very well , but since i have updated to a custom firmware , using wifi analyzer on my phone i can clearly see the signal is around one third lower than before my custom firmware (juwes 5.2 XXJVQ from a fresh install , semaphore kernal 1.3.2).
what can i try to do to improve my phones reception ability for wifi ? reflash certain parts , edit files , tweaks etc.
like i say router has not changed , my other phones all register with there original strong signal using wifi analyzer from the market place.
i'm new to odin , so if files need to be flashed , please let me know which file and which section it goes in please , i'm happy to experiment , but not sure what i should be experimenting with
T.Y
Try experimenting with different kernels as they contain the wifi bits and pieces
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
It also happens to me (darky rom 10.1) w/ 2.3.3
thank you for your reply , but could you give me a bit of a clue as to what to do and how to experiment ? so i be downloading different stock roms and flashing the modem only onto my custom rom ?
Get Wi-fi Analyzer and have a look at the signal strength as you flash different modems.
Perka's stash is a good place to find CWM packages of modems only.

O2X GB - no data - ??

I recently installed O2X GB rom..its nice and smooth except for one thing , I cant get data connection , wiffi works great , but when I put wifi off I have no internet connection(yes data is enabeld), I d/l apn and I see the settings are correct I also tried getril to make sure I have the correct ril and baseband,I used the 622 GB baseband and Still no luck? Anybody have any ideas on what Im doing wrong?
I used the 622 GB baseband

you can't use that baseband, it's only for T-mobile G2x CMIIW. you should use antoher baseband m8
Of course it's not for the G2X, their radio versions are nothing like it.
I presume you are able to make voice calls/SMS currently? You don't have 'Unknown' as the baseband version?
I got it working ,
I checked my APN's they where on default Fido, I just enabled data when roaming and it worked, I guess thats why I had a r on top of the signal bars, But the question is why deos my cell go on roaming?
R - Roaming
ok so after doing a lot off searching and reading , I found a way to get rid of the " r " roaming , on the dialer I enter *#*#4636#*#* - phone setting - scroll down and turn radio off then on , and the r vanishes , only working with CM7 unfortunatly!! I tried it on th new 2.3.4 GB rom and no luck!! any Ideas ?? anyone?? , I noticed that the user " netuser " is on telus and he is using the 2.3.4 GB rom , I wonder if he has the R problem also ?
Just wondering if anyone has found a solution to this? I'm currently on baseband 1035.21 firmware 2.3.4 and using o2x flair on version v20l

[Q] Unlocked & Rooted Samsung Galaxy S I9000 signal issue

Hello, I recently bought an unlocked and rooted galaxy s i9000 from someone. Its running Dark Knight 5.5 and Devil Kernal. I have little to no network signal, wifi works great though. It has a rogers sim card in it that works fine in other phones. I have never had a connection issue and no matter where I go with this phone I have extremely bad service ! If anyone has some ideas that would be appreciated.
Thanks
Could I just flash another modem too it , one that might give it better signal?

What baseband version are you on?
System Settings - About phone - Baseband version.
I am having signal issues also.
I get maybe 2 bars then none then none sometimes.
I am running Team ISGS ICS4.0.4
This is really unreliable now.
My phone started doing it on Rel 4.2.
I used the KG3 modem and I now get FULL bars.
Here is a list of modems:

Sorry dude, i clicked the thank-you button by mistake. Have a freebie on me.
JW4 doesn't work in Canada. Here we need 850 & 1900, therefore KG3.
Flash the kernel again
I guess its due to the kernel.Dlash the rom.See to that you clear the Dalvik Cache too:angel::angel:

[Q] Questions about baseband and some problems with the phone

I have a 0622 baseband and my phone is from Korea, but i live in Brazil, and i'd like to know if i need to change the baseband because im having some issues with my phone network, like sometimes the phone loses the signal and then it nevers come back and when i go to settings/wireless&networks/mobile/set network
it still lists the operators signal.
And if wanted a factory reset for my phone, how should i do it? Is there anyway to check the original baseband of my phone?
I'm using CM 7.2 with the latest etana kernel.
You can simply install the lastest brazilian LG's FW with its baseband using Smartflash or KDZ You can download all you need in the development section

there are a few things to check before you do anything/flashing:
1) try to check a suitable RIL...use GetRIL app or LG RIL Version app from the play store
2)I remember seeing something about the auto time selection in Temasek's Kang thread...try disabling the automatic time sync.maybe that is a solution.
3)tr changing to Temasek's Kang which is surely one among the best ROMs for O2X. HE ROCKS with his tweaks and cherry picks.
4)try using SU-660 Basebands....some of the devices dont respond well with normal BB.check tonyp's thread for a suitable BB and RIL combo.
going through a NVflash or kdz methods might be reserved for the last.
This is my opinion. but, take ur decision mate
Hope this helps

There is no BB/RIL combination at the moment that works with build version #5. All BBs show the same pincode error. Use build #4, that's working really well. Or have a look at a different ROM like Owain's.
